4. | ![]() | Create the inscribed hexagram of circle 3 by constructing two inscribed equilateral triangles, one pointing to the left, one pointing to the right. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of the hexagon, enclosed by hexagram 2. | |||
6. | ![]() | Create the inscribed hexagram of circle 5 by constructing two inscribed equilateral triangles, one pointing up, one pointing down. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed circle of the hexagon, enclosed by hexagram 6. | |||
8. | ![]() | Copy circle 5 to the top angular point of hexagram 6. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersections of circle 8 and the upper side of the triangle of hexagram 2 pointing down. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of the hexagon, enclosed by hexagram 6. | |||
11. | ![]() | Copy circle 10 three times, to the angular points of the triangle of hexagram 2 pointing up. | |||
12. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 three times, to the centers of circles 11. | |||
13. | ![]() | Draw the three rays from the center of circle 1 to the mutual intersections of circles 12, and extend these in opposite directions up to the outer sides of circles 12. | |||
14. | ![]() | Construct three circles concentric to circles 12, each passing through the two near intersections of circle 9 and lines 13, that lie inside the overlapping areas of circles 12, as shown. | |||
15. | ![]() | Copy circle 5 three times, to the outer intersections of circles 12 and lines 13. | |||
16. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the outer ring of intersections of hexagrams 4 and 6. | |||
17. | ![]() | Copy circle 16 three times, to the centers of circles 15. | |||
18. | ![]() | Extend lines 13 up to the outer sides of circles 15. | |||
19. | ![]() | Copy circle 10 to the center of upper circle 15. | |||
20. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of the lower left circle 17, with an angular point coincident with the end-point of lower left line 18 (extended line 13). | |||
21. | ![]() | Copy circle 3 to the center of the lower right circle 15. | |||
22. | ![]() | Extend lower right line 18 up to the lower right side of circle 21. | |||
23. | ![]() | Create the inscribed hexagram of circle 21 by constructing two inscribed equilateral triangles, one pointing to the end of line 22, one pointing towards the center of circle 1. | |||
24. | ![]() | Construct three pairs of parallel lines, by connecting opposite pairs of intersections of the lower right circle 15 and hexagram 23, as shown. | |||
25. | ![]() | Copy circles 7 and 10 to the center of the lower right circle 15. | |||
26. | ![]() | Draw two rays of hexagram 23 from the center of the lower right circle 15 to the upper right and lower angular points, as shown. | |||
27. | ![]() | Circles 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, 19 and 25, triangle 20, and lines 24 and 26 are the constituents of the final reconstruction. | |||
28. | ![]() | Leaving out all parts not visible in the formation itself... High resolution dwf-file | |||
29. | ![]() | ...and colouring the areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | |||
30. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, finish the reconstruction of the Bainbridge, Ohio, USA, formation of 28-09-2003. High resolution dwf-file | |||
